SONY ALPHA 5100+16-50MM - ILCE-5100LB BLACK

Sony Alpha a5100 with 16-50 mm lens (black)

The 24.3MP APS-C Exmor HD CMOS sensor and the BIONZ X image processor work together to produce high-resolution images, with minimal noise and remarkable low light quality and sensitivity to ISO 25600. The sensor uses a spaceless lens chip design function that fills the gaps between neighboring pixels with optimized lenses that match the angle of incidence to increase light-capture capability and produce sharpness and quality from edge to edge. The processor also contributes to providing a large amount of speed throughout the system. the processor also contributes to providing a large amount of speed throughout the system from the edge to the edge.

Fast hybrid HF system

The Fast Hybrid AF system uses a 179-point phase detection system and a 25-point contrast detection system to achieve precise focusing in as little as 0.07 seconds. Using a spatial object detection algorithm, this fast focusing system first uses phase detection AF points to quickly focus on the subject and then uses contrast detection AF points, with wide AF coverage, to adjust sharpness and ensure accuracy. in addition to supporting single-shot modes, this system also provides AF tracking when shooting up to 6 fps in continuous high mode. in addition to supporting single-shot modes, this system also provides AF tracking when shooting up to 6 fps in continuous high continuous mode.

Eye AF is a detail-oriented focusing function that can prioritize a subject's student and dedicate focus performance to that for portraits with great sharpness; Lock-on AF is a dedicated focusing method for use with moving subjects and adjusts the size of the target frame as the subject moves along the frame of the image; The AF area setting allows you to prioritize specific regions within the frame for greater precision; and AF-A (auto AF) modes can also be chosen for AF-A (auto AF).

Full HD video recording

Full HD 1080p video recording is supported at 60, 30 and 24 fps on the 50Mbps high quality XAVC S codec; other recording options include the ability to use the AVCHD and MP4 codecs, with support for recording up to 1080p60 video at 28Mbps; dual video recording is also supported, with the ability to select the XAVC S or AVCHD codecs plus a duplicate MP4 file to be recorded at the same time for greater efficiency when sharing videos online; and when using the output of the XAVC S codec for online video sharing.

Complementing the video capabilities of the a5100, a built-in stereo microphone is incorporated into the design and records audio in the 2-channel Linear PCM format for XAVC S movies, the AC-3 Dolby Digital format for AVCHD movies and the MPEG 4 AAC-LC format for web-quality MP4 videos

The manual focus peak and a zebra function are also available, to benefit the work in the manual focus and to ensure that highlighting details are retained, respectively. A marker setting can also be displayed on the rear LCD screen, to show a central marker, a guide frame, an aspect marker, a security zone and other features relevant to video recording.

Body Design

A large 921.6k dot 3.0" LCD monitor features a 180° tilt up design for easy self-portrait taking and a zoom lever surrounding the shutter release button helps to easily fine tune compositions when used in conjunction with a compatible motorized zoom lens. in addition, this LCD screen is also a touch screen, offering efficient control over camera and zoom settings, and an efficient control over camera and zoom settings. in addition, this LCD screen is a touch screen, offering efficient control over camera settings,

The body also incorporates a pop-up flash, which has a guide number of 13.1' to ISO 100 for additional illumination in difficult lighting conditions.

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows the a5100 to instantly share images on mobile devices for sharing directly online to social networks, email and cloud storage sites. NFC (Near Field Communication) is also supported, which allows one-touch connection between the camera and compatible mobile devices; no complex configuration is required; once connected, the linked mobile device can also display a live view image on its screen and remotely control the camera shutter.

In addition, PlayMemories camera applications are also compatible via the built-in Wi-Fi connection and allow you to customize camera functions according to specific shooting styles. Applications are available to suit portrait creation, detailed close-ups, sports, time lapse, motion shots and other specific types of images.

Sony 16-50mm f / 3.5-5.6 OSS Retractable zoom lens

The OSS 16-50 mm f / 3.5-5.6 retractable zoom lens offers an equivalent 35 mm focal length range of 24-75 mm, covering wide-angle to vertical length perspectives to suit a wide variety of situations, and features Optical SteadyShot image stabilization to help minimize the appearance of camera shake at up to four shutter speed steps to greatly benefit work in low-light conditions and with higher zoom magnifications. an extra low scatter element and four aspheric elements are integrated into the design to greatly benefit work in low-light conditions with higher zoom magnifications. an extra low scatter element and four aspheric elements are integrated.

Other camera features

• The Sony E-mount offers compatibility with a large number of lenses and lens adapters.

• An advanced 1200-zone evaluative exposure metering sensor delivers consistent and accurate results using multi-segment, center-weighted, or spot metering modes.

• Auto Object Framing is an intelligent shooting mode that can automatically analyze the scene and the subjects within it and determine an aesthetically pleasing composition. Subsequent images will be trimmed according to the theme, resulting in a well-balanced composition that uses face detection and tracking focus to ensure high image quality and sharpness.

• The clear zoom of the image can be used to enlarge the center of scenes twice to effectively extend the range of any focal length lens. This digital zoom technology uses an intelligent interpolation process to minimize image degradation in order to produce realistic, high quality images.

• Image effect modes allow you to apply creative settings and emphasize certain facets of individual images for richer image quality and aesthetics. Posterization (Color / B & W), Pop Color, Photo Retro, Partial Color (R / G / B / Y), High Contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera (Normal / Cold / Warm / Green / Magenta) and Soft Key, Soft Focus (High / Medium / Low), HDR Paint (High / Medium / Low), Monochrome Monochrome (High / Medium / Low), HDR Paint (High / Medium / Low), Soft Focus Monochrome (High / Low).

• Superior Auto mode is an intelligent automated setup that can quickly identify the current shooting environment and adjust the camera's crucial settings to deliver optimized results. This mode also uses Auto HDR and Manual Twilight modes, which employ image composition techniques to better handle difficult lighting conditions.

• Anti-Motion Blur automatically corrects the subject's movement to provide sharp, clean images in low-light conditions. This is achieved by recording six sequential frames and composite parts of each image to ensure overall sharpness.

• The handheld twilight mode automatically composes the details of six sequentially recorded images for greater overall image sharpness when working in low-light conditions.

• The Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) works to enhance images with backlit subjects or high-contrast scenes where details may be lost in shadows or lights. This mode can be controlled automatically or fine-tuned using five settings.

• Creative Style settings provide control over how the camera processes images in six different preset styles: Standard, Vivid, Vertical, Landscape, Sunset, Black and White, and Sepia. Within these settings, contrast, saturation, and sharpness can also be adjusted according to personal preferences.

• A gentle effect on the skin helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles or spots on portraits

• In-camera creation of 4K slideshows is possible for rich playback on ultra-high definition TVs. An HDMI port is also built into the camera design to allow direct connection to HDTV.

• TRILUMINOS the a5100 provides color support to produce rich and natural colors when images are viewed on a TRILUMINOS screen.

• Convenient USB charging allows you to charge the lithium-ion battery included in the camera via a USB connection from an AC outlet or PC source.
